    We don't have any statistics about the number of gardeners who grow herbs indoors.

    When you have an actual working model of your product you can gain valuable feedback by having homeowners and gardeners use the product and give feedback.

    As a gardener who loves herbs and does grow then indoors during the winter months, I am always keeping an eye out for unique ways to do so.

    Best of luck.

    I do not think you should be concerned. Maybe let the solid dry out a bit between waterings. Those are only there because of the very damp soil.

    This image of soil appears to be quite damp.

    Mold and fungus thrive in moist conditions.

    You can treat the soil with a fungicide, Neem Oil is a good choice.

    Here are some links for you.

    You can start pinching back and using your Basil when it reaches at least 6" high.
    Here is a link with more information.

    Many herbs prefer similar conditions and can be grown together. They genrally prefer well-drained soil with a good amount of sand mixed in. You can simply mix potting soil with sand. Make sure the pots have enough drainage holes in the bottom, because herbs don't like to have wet roots. You can drill additional holes if necessary.

    Most of these herbs can be divided (split in half). This article explains how:

    You can look up the gardening zones in which each herb does best to find out about their heat and cold resistance. Different countries have different gardening zone systems, but here are the United States (USDA) ones:

    The specific information about the three herbs you mention is as follows:
    Parsley: USDA zones 6-9
    Rosemary: zones 8-11
    Thyme: zones 4-9

    This article will help you.

    If you use your Herbs and keep them dead headed and from going to seed, this will greatly reduce the invasive nature of the plants.

    Any Herb that is in the Mint family, is hight invasive.
